Their only wish,
if truth be known
(but who, pray tell, should care?)
is simply this, to stand alone
for what have THEY to share?
*
They feel no love, nor even hate
for people who have known them,
and few are those who’d dare debate
that we should all disown them.
*
Their lonely path has led, perforce,
to places far and splendid.
They go their way without remorse—
or thus have they pretended.
